According to its proposal, the number of electors would be 112,000. That is a variance of much more than 10% above the quota, the goal being less than 10%. At 88,000 electors, we are slightly below that. Under the proposal, however, my riding would reduce the variance to less than 10% of the quota, to 107,000 electors.
So with 86,000 electors, Mégantic—L'Érable has a negative variance from the quota.
One riding had a variance that was greater than the quota, but now we have a district with a variance below the quota.
